king solomon has called for 2 emergency summit involving the gulf and our leases later this month just to discuss the escalating tensions let's get more on this our correspondent patty culhane is joining us live from washington d.c. it is a confrontational tweet from the president patti as we mentioned just days after he has been repeating he doesn't want to war. it really is becoming clear that this administration is basically set in mixed messages when it comes to red so the big question everyone's asking is why did he send that tweet is confrontational basically saying i'm going to end your country is that because he received some sort of classified briefing or is it because something he watched on television we don't know i can tell you that over the hour since he's returned from the his golf course golf course in northern virginia he's been tweeting about a wide range of subjects everything from promoting a book to talking about

a democratic candidate for president to immigration to the economy to college graduation so he's really been all over the map what exactly prompted this we don't know we might have a better understanding of just under an hour he promised to do an interview a pre-taped interview with fox news his favorite news channel so we'll see if this is brought up and then we'll let you know what he has to say about it but definitely sending a message 11 hand we don't want war with iran the 2nd he's saying yeah we will go to war with the rand and we will end the country and actually you know mixed messages from this president not new but these are mixed messages about what. exactly this is a much higher stakes tweet storm didn't we had to deal with in the past and partially because that's also coming with actual consequences we're seeing an aircraft carrier missile batteries moved into the region i think it's important to point out that aircraft carrier group was always going to be in that region but they did speeded up the schedule for its arrival were seen never before seen not in

the height of the war in iraq did you see u.s. state department personnel pulled out of the embassy there doing that we're seeing businesses pull out were seen warnings to airliners that they might not want to fly over the gulf because they could be confused with iran so what exactly is driving this there have been some leaks about the intelligence none of that seems to merit these sorts of moves. we're going to get a better idea because congress is going to be briefed securely confidentially from the intelligence community both chambers this week at least that's what we expect and if there's one thing you can expect is that members of congress leaked to the press so we're starting to see some come out and say yes this is very valid intelligence there's a reason for these moves others mostly in the opposition party saying this is insanity it seems too much like the run up to the iraq war to it's the vast majority of americans now believe was a catastrophe and a horrible decision and that includes the current president the united states remember he was able to come to office in part because he said look i was against

the iraq war even though he wasn't but he was able to point to hillary clinton say she voted for it and it was a big selling point for me said he was going to get out of foreign entanglements so this mixed messages with that backdrop seems all that much more confusing as we thank you very much for that. but the latest live in washington d.c. thank you now a rockets being fired into baghdad have any fortified green zone an area where there are many buildings and embassies the iraqi military says there were no casualties the u.s. embassy evacuated not on the essential stuff early this week citing a heightened threat from iran traffic has moved from baghdad. they in fact saying that they found a katyusha rocket launch pad on a road close by to the green zone and it's incidents like this that of course are making iraq iraq even iraqi politicians very nervous because of course iraq has incredible economic political and military ties and religious ties with neighboring

iran and of course is a major u.s. ally as well we saw mike pompei as visit earlier this month on pay a warning the iraqi government about what he described as specific and increasing threats by what the americans describe as iran's proxies in this country these are these iraqi iran backed armed groups that were so very effective in the fight against i saw that were integrated into the iraqi military in 2016 and who certainly the u.s. oppose a major threat to u.s. interests those 5200 or so american servicemen and women still in iraq so despite the fact that the iraqi prime minister has come out and said that he's seen no increased threat from these groups certainly incidents like this evening

suggest just how fragile the situation is here although it's very important to say that nobody has claimed responsibility for this attack iraq's oil minister meanwhile says exxon mobil's decision to evacuate all its foreign staff is unacceptable and unjustified gonna get balance as the move was made for political purposes and not because of security concerns dozens of mainland u.s. workers at an oil field me ambassador to the buy on saturday and behind has ordered all its nationals to leave iraq and iran because of what it describes as unstable conditions. oil producing nations have met in saudi arabia to discuss prices and production limits donald trump had said that saudi arabia and other opec members agreed to his request to boost production and push prices down but at the meeting the u.a.e. saudi and nigeria advised against that saying they don't want prices to fall

governing body protesters one civilians to be in charge of it let's take a look at how we reached this point the army removed almost all the shade on april 12th after a popular uprising which began as protests over high living costs a transitional council were set up a protest leaders weren't satisfied while the message had continued outside the army headquarters protest leaders held talks with the council eventually reaching some agreements but last week 6 people were killed when violence broke out near the protests to certain demonstrators accuse the army of resorting to brutal tactics used under the shade of straw the home of the dollar has more from cattle. the generals in the transitional military council have been meeting with representatives of the opposition movement that talks about a decisive phase it's what happens from now all i give them and on that crucial point of the 4 mission of the sovereign council by highest organ in the

transitional i missed social that's been proposed for sudan that will prove vital in what happens in this country the protesters are saying they want civilians to have a major stake in the song council the military says they have been given the responsibility of making managing the transition since they removed president a model bashir from power and want to see a small town is belfour should have a majority stake and maybe even the leadership of bob council and that is what they have been discussing so far they have not come to an agreement yet but it is cautious optimism of course and done that something is going to give way and that there will be a coup promise and the formation of dark council will be possible for the sake of this nation. a roadside bomb exploded as a tourist bastar postured in egypt near the gaze a paramedic enjoying at least 17 people most of them south africans as not one
